Yes, open. OPEN. My car's driver-side window is frozen shut, and in an attempt to thaw it out I somehow ended up freezing the latch over. Now the window still won't open and the door won't close. And now I am stuck at home without delicious breakfast.

Share similar stories of winter-related heartbreak. Or breakfast-related heartbreak. Or both.

I had to use a hair dryer to melt the water in the water buckets during july this year. It was -3C.

Do you have a heat gun

Try moving the door until you manage to close it maybe?

last winter i bought a brand new set of $400/piece wheel and tires. the day i put them on it was snowing like a forgeter and right after i got the new wheels on i slid into a curb and scratched the forget out of the left two wheels.

it's still like that to this day :')

I suggest wiggling the door handle too, it should break the latch free

~~mmmm i wouldn't risk that tbh. i recall my mother doing something similar with her car door and the latch became "unhooked" so we had to pop off the door panel and hook it back up.~~ whoop that's another story for another day lol

I would suggest getting a space heater or something that generates some kind of heat outside and having it placed near the latch
